ABOUT SKY’S END
A thrilling YA fantasy debut that plummets readers into a kill-or-be-killed competition where a scrappy underdog hell-bent on revenge must claw his way to the top
Exiled to live as a Low, sixteen-year-old Conrad refuses to become heir to his murderous uncle. But Meritocracy is a harsh and unforgiving rule on the floating island of Holmstead, and when his ailing mother is killed by monstrous gorgantauns Conrad cuts a deal to save the only family he has left. To rescue his sister from his uncle’s clutches, Conrad must enter the Selection of the Twelve Trades.
Hunter, the deadliest of all the Trades, gains a fresh recruit with Conrad. Now he must endure vigorous training, manipulative peers, and the Gauntlet—a brutal final test that yields riches and status to whichever skyship crew kills the most gorgantauns. Forced to serve in the lowest of all stations and unseen by all, Conrad overhears whispers of rebellion in the dark. All his life, Conrad hadn’t known anything existed below the toxic black clouds of the Skylands . . . until now.

⇢ Book review : The Sunbearer Trials by Aiden Thomas
Hello everyone! Here is my review for one of my most anticipated books of the year! My Bookstagram saw it first so make sure yall are following me there for first looks at everything I post here on my blog ♥
✨ The Sunbearer Trials by Aiden Thomas - OUT SEP 6TH!!
✱ I honestly can't recommend this book enough. If you are a fan of the Percy Jackson 'demigod' / quests / trials type fantasy you are going to be in for a MASSIVE treat with this one. Aiden has created an incredible world that blends modern touches with fantasy so seamlessly the world easily feels real. Often times when reading fantasy books I find myself struggling to remember whos-who, what's-what, where's-where but that isn't the case with this one. Not only does the physical book come with a beautifully drawn map (if you need it) but everything is written in a way that it just feels natural to be along for the ride. I was able to easily picture every incredible city and character introduced as the plot progressed.
✱ This book follows our protagonist Teo, a Jade demigod (semidiose) and son of the beautiful Quetzal. Teo is a character you will easily adore; he is strong willed, anti-authority, values his friends and will get back up every time he falls to do the right thing.
✱ My FULL review can be found on my Goodreads profile [linked above], but trust me when I say this book IS WORTH IT. Honestly it's easily one of my favorites of all time now.
"As each new decade begins, the Sun’s power must be replenished so that Sol can keep traveling along the sky and keep the evil Obsidian gods at bay. Ten semidioses between the ages of thirteen and eighteen are selected by Sol himself as the most worthy to compete in The Sunbearer Trials. The winner carries light and life to all the temples of Reino del Sol, but the loser has the greatest honor of all―they will be sacrificed to Sol, their body used to fuel the Sun Stones that will protect the people of Reino del Sol for the next ten years."
Got the new Lisa plugin from @pluginalliance and decided to test it right away on this Mastering project for my upcoming Compilation release this Friday ! Awesome EQ and Compressor at the same time, absolutely love it already! Did use the VSC2 VCA comp to add more kick ! The Compilation is sounding awesome, I really enjoy the first track, did some automation with the Spread on the TG12345 channel strip, I've put a lot of care on this album, can't wait for the release day ! #mastering #pluginalliance #reaper #daw #various #artists #compilation #tomoaudiolabs #lisa #vertigo #brainworx #wavesplugins #waves #abbeyroadstudios #upcomingrelease #vcacompressor #undergroundproducer #bedroomproducer #musicproducer #noiseproducer #arcade #synthwave #synthwaveproducer #producerlife #newplugin #newfavorite #retrowave https://www.instagram.com/p/CdHXkZUJzGX/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

We are here for the #booksandbrunch vibe, Courtney!!! Super excited for Sistah Scifi Wine Down Wednesday with cohost M'Shai Dash and special guest Leslye Penelope! You can order preorder signed copies of The Monsters We Defy. Link in bio: @sistahscifi | www.sistahscifi.com. Better yet, check it out from your local #library. Reposted from @court_of_alchemy Did someone say HEIST?! Started The Monsters We Defy by @leslyepenelope while eating brunch this weekend! I love a heist book, especially when there is magic! Check out synopsis below. Huge thanks to @orbitbooks_us and @b2weird for the tour copy! Keep and eye out for the #B2Wtours both here on Instagram and also over on TikTok! * Synopsis: Washington D. C., 1925: Clara Johnson can talk to spirits—a gift that saved her during her darkest moments, now a curse that’s left her indebted to the cunning spirit world. So when a powerful spirit offers her an opportunity to gain her freedom, Clara seizes the chance, no questions asked. The task: steal a magical ring from the wealthiest woman in the District. Clara can’t pull off this daring heist alone. She’ll need the help of an unlikely team, from a handsome jazz musician able to hypnotize with a melody to an aging actor who can change his face, to pull off the impossible. But as they race along DC’s legendary Black Broadway, conflict in the spirit world begins to leak into the human one—an insidious mystery is unfolding, one that could cost Clara her life and change the fate of an entire city. * #B2WTours #B2Weird #TheMonstersWeDefy #SFF #SFFbooks #NewBooks #UpcomingRelease #bookstagram #BookTour #books #SistahScifi #LeslyePenelope // @hachetteus https://www.instagram.com/p/Cgrf8R4rLgB/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
